Review Master List: Game Gear Games

This is a list of Game Gear releases, based off the Master List found at Guardiana. In this thread, all the review claims for Game Gear titles will be listed. If you notice a game missing from that list, please reply so we can add it in.

Anyone who wishes to review a Game Gear title can easily check here whether a game is still "free" or not. All claims will be filed in this thread.
If you're interested in writing a review, please announce it here or in the Upcoming Reviews & Features thread. Also, if it's your first time writing a review, have a look at our Review Manifest to give you a general idea of what to write about.

The list is structured as follows:

- All the games released in the US NTSC region (other reagions and exclusives)
- All the additional European PAL releases (exclusive and otherwise)
- All Japanese releases (exclusive and otherwise)
- other releases if applicable

As with the list of Master System releases, this list does not include homebrew-releases of any kind for the time being. These may be included at a later date.

Alright, then this is probably a wrong entry in the original Master list database at Guardiana.

I've also noticed that there was a Sputh Korean (bootleg) release of Street Fighter II for the Game Gear, in all likelihood a derivation of the unlicensed Master System Game "Jang Pung II". I've added that one to the list instead.

/edit: Since Benjamin went first, I guess I'm gonna be the second one to claim a Game Gear title. I'm calling dibs on "Earthworm Jim".

/double edit: vintagegamecrazy already mentioned that he has a couple of reviews already written up and ready to go, so I'll add his claims in as well.

The funny thing about an oxymoron is, even if you remove the ox, there'll always be a moron. The Question Remains: Y?

For GG/SMS cross releases, it would be cool to list any differences between the two versions besides the obvious screen zoom. Like how Batman Returns adds a life bar on the GG or changes to level structures in Lucky Dime Caper.

No, it's unbiased analysis. The only fanboyism is people who claim that Hyperstone Heist and Bloodlines are actually as good as their SNES counterparts.

Not a bad idea - I'd definitely be interested in such an info. Maybe we should include this in the Review Manifest. In general though, it comes down to the reviewer what he wants to write about.
